Arts and Entertainment

Looking good, sounding good.

We like to stir things up by serving a fizzy mix of contemporary art and family entertainment, seriously good painting and high comedy, big-name productions, blockbuster cinema and a full programme of festivals and events.

Everyone flocks to Venue Cymru at Llandudno.

Can you blame them?

The name says it all – it’s North Wales’s top theatre complex, a versatile, strikingly designed seafront venue offering non-stop entertainment ranging from opera to alternative comedy, dance to drama, live bands to good old-fashioned panto.

Theatr Colwyn, reputedly Wales’s oldest working theatre, also stages a wide range of productions.

It’s certainly Wales’s oldest cinema, dating from 1909 – and one of the most go-ahead too, having gone fully digital (its patron, Colwyn Bay-born Terry Jones of Monty Python fame, is a big fan of the place).

Also bang up to date is the nine-screen Cineworld multiplex at Llandudno Junction, another firm favourite that attracts big audiences.

Arts fans will find galleries everywhere.

They won’t want to miss venues like MOSTYN in Llandudno, Wales’s leading gallery of contemporary art, or the Royal Cambrian Academy at Conwy dedicated to artists living and working in Wales.

Ffin y Parc Gallery, just outside Llanrwst, is one of Wales’s most exciting commercial fine art galleries, while grassroots local art is displayed in a professional setting at Colwyn Bay’s Community Gallery.
